Newbies! Questions about tracks, tires and rims, and carburetor problems

[mightymaxIV]

Hey WJ-do you have the 25" swimmer tires or the 25" rawhide's? You can fit a set of Adair tracks over a set of 25" tires but the clearance will be very close. Tim might be able to cut you set with a smaller grouser to fit those 25" tires.

What year is your Argo?

If you go to 24" tires you will have to go to a set of 8" rims.

I would a least consider a set of Adair tracks to fit over those tires, give the folks at Adair a call and see what they say.

One thing I can say for sure, if you go to a set of Adair tracks that frontier won't be getting stuck anymore.

Hi WJ
When u cleaned your carb, did you make sure to get all the little holes/jets clear? I like to poke a little "Torch Tip Cleaner" through, just to make sure to get any Old Fuel Resin out of them.

To run the Supertracks, you will have to go to different rims for the 24" tires.

I do question the "NEED" for Tracks where you want to go. It sounds like you are new to the machines, and IMHO, there is a learning curve and a knack to driving them (I could be totally wrong though ) Anyway, there are ways to avoid getting stuck in ruts and/or mudholes. I ran for yrs through some nasty stuff before getting tracks on my machines, and believe I am a better operator for the experience. Either way, it's always a good idea to have a Winch lol, I'm rambling, personally, I would lean away from Supertracks in mud or rutted conditions. They are not the right choice, but that's just my $0.02 worth, and round that to the nearest Nickle, and you get $0.00 worth of advice

Having owned an Avenger I do have a bit of experience. It helps a lot to learn to drive an Argo. These machines are not true six/eight wheel drive, but one-side drive. This is due to the open differiential they have. One side spins while the other side does nothing. Thus one must apply brakes to the side that spins, which "forces" power to the othet side. In essence, the driver turns left and right quickly and repeatedly. Not always but it does help a lot.
Perhaps this will help in those tough spots. Enjoy.
